In promoting conscientious eating, HSI embraces the Three Rs—reducing the consumption of animal products, refining the diet by avoiding foods created in the worst production systems (for example, switching to cage-free eggs) and replacing animal products with plant-based foods.

The Meatless Monday campaign asks consumers to go meat-free one day per week—and it’s a great way to help reduce the environmental, animal welfare, and other social impacts of raising 70 billion land animals each year for food worldwide.

HSI and The American Buddhist Confederation of New York announced plans to encourage the Buddhist community to support animal welfare instead of the ritual of releasing animals, such as birds, fish and turtles, into the wild.

HSI arranged for a group of Buddhists to visit the Catskill Animal Sanctuary to demonstrate that supporting animal welfare groups, instead of participating in mercy release, is the most compassionate way to help animals.
